Upvote for adding "vol 9" to the post title, lol. This deal just won't go away, and there is nothing wrong with 8Cr14 blade steel at this price point. Knife design is a bit ugly, IMHO, but that's totally subjective.

It is subjective as I absolutely love the looks and design of the 7049. One of my favorite knives out of hundreds with many being ten to twenty times the cost.

They all look much better than the pictures on Field Supply's site make them appear. Small but very real knives that work and are built great.

I've bought dozens of these for personal use and for gifts.
Every single person says it's a great knife and they think it's probably a $30 knife.

I agree. I have a few around the house and have used some as gifts in he past. At 3 for 21, they are a "steel"...

Make nice stocking stuffers, of course there's higher quality knives out there for more $$.

In before Chinese knife poo-poos, these are good quality knives for the price, Sanremu is one of the better China direct brands, probably similar in quality to a China made Kershaw etc.

I've also bought this deal a few times in the past (about to buy another one right now.) I would say its worth it ~$7/knife, there a few I received I had to tighten but other than that $7 for a decent edc/general use knife is really good.

Care to explain and be more specific? What exactly was the problem or failure with the knives?

I have Sanrenmu that are probably dating back 10 to 15 years now and have never had one fail. The same can not be said for other more expensive but budget and more costly blades such as Coast, Kershaw, Leatherman, Gerber, S&W and others. I have seen some horrendous builds and shoddiness even on high end Bucks yet have never had a Sanrenmu that I was disappointed with in fit, finish or build when considering price. Most of the decade old ones I have not even had to sharpen as of yet. Budget steels come in different grades and Sanrenmu's outshines supposedly higher end steels.

Have had wobbly blades, poor or failing lockups, sharp edges, clips break and screws fall out on many brands but never a Sanrenmu. Do you have some comparison as to what you think a better more quality knife is near this price point?

Here is some feedback from people I have sold these knives to.

Coolest little knife I've seen recently. Smooth open/close after release with a wrist flick. Nice.

Product well worth the price, way over built and constructed knife. Quick shipper as well.

After reading so much praise for Sanrenmu, I bought this pack (or a very similar 3-pack - at least the green/clip and the plain black handle were the same) last year.

Yes, they're inexpensive. Yes, the blades are sharp and they seem like decent little knives. No, I don't think I can find you a better knife for $7 or less.

But the first time I used any of them, I was cutting some cardboard boxes down. Admittedly, it's not the ideal tool, but that's not the point. Applying force that, in my opinion, should be acceptable for a pocket knife, the handle separated enough that the blade folded backward.

That failure is unacceptable, so I threw them all in the trash. I have plenty of other knives that have never done that, so I did not care to forensically analyze the failure (it was not just a loose screw - it's a weak design) or check the structural integrity of the others. I just won't buy them ever again.

What model did that happen on? If that is your experience I guess you have a valid complaint but I have had nothing similar happen with any of these model or any other probably dozens of models I have used.

They are all steel liners or steel handles screwed down and I can't imagine how one would separate unless screws were missing or stripped. It would have to separate enough for the stop pin to fall out to let the blade pass full open to get to what you describe. Even the 7030 that has some type of plastic or GFN handles has steel liners. I have had some plastic handle no liners at all gas station type knives that that happened to. You can see all have a stop pin sandwiched between steel liners with steel pillars and that should stop any chance of that happening unless it complerty falls out or is missing.

To be honest, I don't recall which one it was. I -think- it was the drop point one in this pack without the carabiner clip, but I'm not 100%. I fully understand that it was probably an unusual failure caused by me, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

These are fine, functional knives for the price. I bought them to throw in the glove compartment of my cars. I would go ahead and spend more if I wanted something nice, or I would choose a utility knife for boxes.
